Say "Yes" to Change With Control Center's Global Updates

“Our SVP would like to review our current project risks - oh and she needs it by tomorrow morning!”

Sound familiar? For business leaders on the receiving end of requests like this one, you know the subsequent pain that comes with making changes to hundreds of documents, projects, or sheets - not to mention the risk for error!

One common challenge many enterprises are addressing today is the need to make better decisions ever faster. To accelerate innovation, businesses are seeking ways to strike a balance between decentralized work while still maintaining structure and control.

This delicate balance becomes more challenging to preserve when change is a factor. Without a mechanism to easily adapt and then distribute those changes, at scale, to existing projects, the margin for error skyrockets.

Something has to give!
